Smith

2006–2007 · 1 season

A taut, grounded crime drama that balances high-stakes heists with the quiet strain of a double life, keeping you tense and invested.

Overview: Though Bobby Stevens appears to be a regular family man with a nine-to-five job, he's actually an expert thief who is seeking a few last big jobs so he can finally leave the business for a comfortable, lawful lifestyle with his wife, Hope, and their two children. While they never discuss Bobby's illegal pursuits, Hope is growing weary of turning a blind eye.
